A phone call...

We open in a downtown alley way, where two dark complected men are loitering around waiting for what seems to be nothing. One leans with his back to a brick wall, arms folded across his chest. The other is practicing a little stick ball with himself, throwing the ball in the air and hitting it into a wall, then fielding it with his bare hands when it bounces off. They are both garbed similarly, both wearing kango hats, button up shirts, unbuttoned of course, and jeans.
"RING....RING...."
The camera zooms in as the man who was playing stick ball places his things down and reaches into his pants pocket. He pulls out a flip phone, one that looks way too expensive for the man who is wielding it, and answers.
"Hello."
The man is Big Vito. The other, who was standing against the wall approaches him and tries to listen as closely to the conversation as the rest of the public viewing the scene from their TV sets. He is Johnny the Bull...but he, like the rest of us, is only able to listen to half of the conversation.
"You want us to do what? Boss, we havn't...yes sir."
"We can handle it, no problem."
"Yeah...yeah...gotcha, boss."
Vito flips the phone closed and stuffs it back inside his pocket. Johnny the Bull stares at him for a second.
Johnny: "What he say?"
Vito: "Come on..."
Vito grabs his partner and they begin to walk. Vito gives Johnny his explanation, but the camera is unable to pick up what is said. The scene fades to black.
